Patch v0.11.173.r

Extra! Extra dear newsbearers!

New improvements and fixes in this patch! Read the fresh patch notes below!

IMPROVEMENTS

Comfort

• Soap bottle can now be placed on the washing station.

• Small, medium and large plants can now be combined for greater effect.

Employees

• Adjusted XP rates for certain desk interactions: typesetters and assemblers now gain 25% less XP per task accomplished, whereas copy editors and lawyers now get 100% more XP per task.

Loading times

• The algorithm that takes place in the background during the recap that decides on next week’s content possibilities has been optimized a bit and runs faster (there could be a noticable lag on older machines between the recap and the area map).

• The algorithm that takes place in the background during the recap’s memory allocations have been refactored such that hopefully it will mitigate the crash that happened for some people.

Miscellaneous

• Moving printer objects does NOT automatically place printer belt corners when you move a module away. This simplifies the behaviour for many people we think, as the chances of a belt being left behind are reduced.

• Recap page now displays influence points gained by doubling in value when placed in above the fold slot.

FIXES

• Stash fix - Removing a printer module that was connected to another module with small plants on it would stash the plants and sell the module instead of stash it.

• Stash fix - Unstashing a staircase door by dragging it on the entrance does not count towards an unstash of the door.
